you planning on slipping him one up the gary then? You have got to catch him first though.

Thats the big question but his stride length is a massive reason for his speed. Like Michael Johnson did, he has completely re-written the rule book around technique and what is expected for the event. Hopefully he is just a natural freak!

I cant see us winning many more. I think its the last day of the cycling tomorrow, then we are fecked.
Triple jump we may get gold
There's still good a chance of gold medals in sailing, boxing, BMX and canoeing.
We don't have the strength in athletics that we used to have but still have a couple of gold medal chances there.
We have a decent chance at another four in cycling - Men's Madison, Men's Sprint, Women's Sprint, Women's BMX
- Goodison will probably win gold tomorrow in the sailing. While we have another three decent medal shots.
- Still have three boxers left in.
- David Davies in the 10km open water swim is a decent bet.
- Athletics. Idowu, Ohuruogu, Baddeley and Sayers have decent chances.
- Then I'm reliably informed that we are half decent in Canoeing, Modern Pentathlon and Horsies too :icon_razz
I think we'll win a few more, 20 is just about achievable. I'll be happy if we can beat the aussies and the french

Looking ahead to 2012, obviously some events won't be in London(The Sailing is near Weymouth I believe?) Does anyone know if the swimming is going to be in Sheffield or are they building a purpose-built Olympic size pool in London?
Which other sports will probably be elsehere in the country?
Oh and that British gal should've got a medal in the Gymnastics imo.

To beat the Russians would be fantastic as well.
As for the remaining events, you have to have confidence in the cycling and another sailing gold looks a certainty. The others i wouldnt like to put money on.

The swimming will be in London. There was a discussion about at work some to do with the design or something.
Sailing is due to be at Weymouth, Rowing will be nearby Windsor, Canoeing in Hertfordshire and the football will of course be played at numerous venues.
that be awesome. China seem to be taking a lot of the traditional Russian golds away actually and the Russian athlete doping storm wouldnt have helped either.
They're still bound to pick up a few more in wrestling, boxing and athletics so I think they might just pip us to third.
